I left Corporate America four years ago to be a stay-at-home mom. It is the most rewarding, fulfilling, and frustrating job I’ve ever had.
I started a blog because I have a serious lack of adult interaction. This is a great way to get my thoughts out, and practice talking to people who are older than age four. Please enjoy my rantings about the life of a stay-at-home mom.
And remember, everyone looks better with a few shades of crazy on their faces.

Since I am still on a high from the Goo Goo Dolls concert, I decided to do a TT on some of the concerts I’ve been to over the years. I’m sure this isn’t all of them, but these are the ones I remember. Click on the artist’s name to see a YouTube video of that artist!

1. Rick Springfield – I think I’ve mentioned this before. I was 12. He was awesome!!

4. Sarah McLachlan (twice) – I think I have mentioned before how much I LOVE Sarah. She is my absolute favorite singer. The last time I saw her was when I was 8 months pregnant with Georgia. I will see Sarah every time I have the chance!

5. Dixie Chicks (twice) – I didn’t know who they were until I saw them at Lillithfair in the late 90’s. After seeing them live, I was a fan for life!

6. Sheryl Crow – If you get a chance to see her, you should. She is one person that sounds sooooo much better live than she does on a CD. Incredible voice!

7. Mandy Patinkin – You probably know him from Chicago Hope, Criminal Minds or The Princess Bride, but this guy has an incredible voice and can really belt out a showtune. Plus he went to KU! Plus, at his concert, he did the LINE from The Princess Bride – “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

8. Clay Aiken (three times) – Yes, three times. The first two times, he was awesome. The third time was a holiday show, and it was waaaay too bizarre. It was like gay Jesus singing. Still, he has an amazing voice.

9. Kelly Clarkson – She is so sweet, and she has such a big voice. I had a very good time at her concert!

10. Bette Midler – I drug Eric to this concert shortly after we were married. She was great, but it is seriously one of the raunchiest concerts I have ever been to. Dude! She did burlesque!

11. Ricky Martin – This one was not my choice. My friend Amy was in love with Ricky Martin, so I went with her to his concert. I was wowed! This guy can dance. I have never seen a man move his ass like that.

12. Ray Charles – Eric and I saw Ray Charles in Chicago at The House of Blues in 2001. I am so glad we got to see him in person. What an incredible man!

13. Goo Goo Dolls – I have been a fan of theirs since A Boy Named Goo came out in 95. Plus I love Johnny. Eric thinks he is way too pretty, but dude! Have you seen his arms? *drool* I am counting the moments until they come to town again.

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Quite a list of concerts, WOW! Your music taste is quite similar to mine and as varied as mine! :) OMG, it's Thursday already! Being off work half of Tuesday and all of Wednesday it feels like Monday today! I gotta get going on my TT for today!

Great list! I just saw Dick Tracy the other day flipping channels and saw Mandy's duet with Madonna. My immediate thoughts were: 1. Man, he's great, and 2. He blows Madonna out of the water.

And LOL on the Corey Hart concert. I saw his name and thought for a moment, "That kid from License to Drive and the Lost Boys had a concert?" Of course, I was thinking of Corey Haim. Or Feldman. One of the two. :)
